Chapter 2: Installation
Installing the Weather Station and Rain Sensors
The sensors for the Weather Station kit must be mounted to a building or structure to place it at above
and away from interference.
Before You Begin
These instructions cover the installation of the EDG-187 Weather Station that includes the hardware and
mounting kit EDG-184.
What You Should Know
The Weather Station sensor and Rain Sensors will need to be mounted above and away from any
obstacles that would interfere with communication. The maximum cable length for the Weather Station
Sensor and the Rain Sensor cable is 98 Ft., (30 m). Therefore, the EDGE Weather Station should be
mounted within 98 Ft. (30 m) of the sensor. The sensors must be mounted 5 Ft. (1.5 m) above the roof or
structure edge.
1. Determine the length of pipe needed for the weather station to be mounted 5 Ft. above the roof or
structure edge and also long enough to reach where the pipe will enter the building.
2. Cut a section of 1-1/2” schedule 80 PVC pipe (not included) to the length needed.
3. Cut a 6” length of 1-1/2” schedule 80 PVC pipe to pass through the hole into the building.
4. At a location that is convenient to run the electrical wires to the controllers, use a hole saw to drill a
2” hole into the outside wall of the building.
5. Install the Nipple (3) into the 1-1/2 inch Bushing (4).
Use Teflon Tape to seal the threads.
6. Install the Cable Swivel Connector (2) onto the Nipple (3).
Use Teflon Tape to seal the threads.
